NOT PERPETRATORS
Failed to Resign

The man with the large height came to me, who was still standing glued with trembling hands and feet.

"What are you doing here?!"

His eyes widened, looking at me carefully. His voice sounded so loud in my ears. What ... will he scold me?

"Hey! You didn't hear? What are you doing here?!"

"A-a-I .. I just put the file on your desk, sir?" I answered while looking down. My lips are shaking. Why do I feel so scared when I look at him?

"What's that?!" Mr. Wibowo took a photo that was in my hand violently.

"I-I took it earlier. That picture ... fo-the photo fell," I replied again with lips still shaking.

He looked even more furious as he looked at the photo in his hand. "Who told you to touch it?!"

I don't know what to say anymore. "Sorry .. I'm sorry ...." Only that word came out of my mouth.

"I'm sorry?" The man is getting closer. "You think an apology is enough? Nah! You've made a fatal mistake! You're fired!!"

I looked up directly. Stare surprised. "Sir .. but ...."

"Get out!!"

I also stepped outside. I'm closing that door. I walked to my desk. I also sat with a tight heart. Why is he angry? What wrong? Isn't that just a photo? But why is he so angry? And why should you fire me? Is touching a photo a fatal thing? Is that a sin? Isn't that just a photo?

"Imania, what's wrong with you?" ask Bastian who was watching me.

I just shook my head at him while throwing a faint smile.

He understood that I didn't want to talk. Mas Bastian also seemed to undo his intention, to ask more.

Dimas ... Your father fired me. I should how? How else to make your father like me. In fact, I just wanted to talk to your dad. But he hates me again. Dimas ... What should I do?

***

Work hours are over. All the employees who work on the back office staff have gone home. It's just me and Bastian sitting at the desk. Seeing the atmosphere was quiet, I rushed to clean my desk. With a lethargic feeling, I should keep my spirits up. Even though my hopes are dashed. Mr. Wibowo has fired me. What else am I here for.

As I was about to move on, Mas Bastian held me back.

"Imania, can I take you home?"

"Mas, no need. Thank you, huh?" reject me with a slight smile.

"I've been watching you from before. Are you all right?"

"Yes, I'm fine" I replied again.

"Imania, why do you always refuse when I take you home?"

"Sorry, Mas. Not to refuse, but .. I don't want this to cause slander. We're divorced, so ... We focus on each other's paths, huh?"

I also left my desk. Suddenly, Bastian held my arm.

"Wait!"

I looked at his hand that was blocking my arm.

"Sorry ..," he said. "I want to talk to you. Can we talk while we drive you home?

"Are we going to talk about something important?"

"Yes, this is important."

I thought for a moment too. Looking at Bastian's gaze, it seemed like he really wanted to talk about something serious. Is it better, I will?

"He'll just come home with me!"

The voice of someone in front of the entrance—back entrance— surprised us. Mas Bastian immediately released his hand from my arm.

"He'll just come home with me!" said again.

"Dimas!" seruku surprised.

"Imania, I just want an important talk. Just one second!" mas Bastian said with a serious look.

"Can't! He'll come straight home with me!" dimas said while looking intently at Bastian.

"I go home first, yes, Mas" I said to Mas Bastian.

Dimas and I went outside, and left Bastian's mas still fixated on my departure. And I got in the car with Dimas.

"Nia, Bastian's in the office with you?" tanya Dimas turned on his car.

"Yes" I replied.

"Don't Bastian be placed in branch one?"

"I don't know about that. Maybe he moved. I've never asked him about his move to headquarters" I explained.

Dimas runs his car. He seemed very curious about the move Bastian mas.

"Tomorrow, I will ask the secretary Ve, to move back to branch one!"

"Why?"

"So she's not close to you! After all, your workbench is very close. I don't like to see Bastian approaching you again!"

I looked at Dimas not understanding. "In, we're divorced. There is no more relationship than friendship between us!"

"If only I knew. I'm not gonna make you work there!"

"You just calm down. From tomorrow, I won't be working in your father's office anymore either" I said in a soft tone.

Dimas suddenly stopped his car. He looked at me confused. "Why really? If it's because of Bastian, I can move him tomorrow, you take it easy! You don't have to leave the office. Dan—"

"On! I'm fired!" I cut out Dimas's words.

"You fired? Who would dare to fire you? What is Ve's secretary? But where is it possible?!" asked Dimas with a high tone.

"No. It wasn't Ve's secretary who fired me. But your father!"

Dimas was shocked to hear my words. "My father fired you?"

I just nodded. I also lowered my head while shedding tears. I've failed to make Mr. Wibowo like me. I lost before the game. Mr. Wibowo will not accept me. He hates me so much!

Dimas looked at me confused. Without asking any further, about the reason Mr. Wibowo fired me. Dimas took the phone. He called someone, who knows who.

"Hello." The voice across the call.

"Sir Ve, what happened to Imania? He said he was fired by my father?"

I'm still crying. And I could clearly hear the voice of the Ve secretary on the phone, because Dimas pressed the loud speaker button on his phone.

"Oh, I already know that. I took care of it. Mr. Wibowo came into my room very angry. But I managed to persuade your father. As a result, Imania was not fired. I was just about to call her, you called me first," she said.

I was surprised to hear that. I'll soon wipe my tears. Did ya? Is it true what I just heard? Mr Wibowo didn't fire me? And ... that means, I still have a chance to make him like me?

"Okay, thank you, Brother Ve. You take good care of my lover."

After they spoke, Dimas hung up.

"Not so cry?" gods to me.

I just smiled thinly. Then he started the car back up.

"We're going to your new house first, okay?" bring him.

"Why what?" my many.

"You ninu-ninu, ha-ha ...!"
